Ming Dynasty: The poisonous imperial teacher, Zhu Yuanzhang advised me to be kind

Chapter 172 Hu Weiyong actually cooperated with the Japanese pirates!

He always had an uneasy feeling in his heart, thinking that something would happen tonight.

But Taro Kojima didn't think so much. These Japanese pirates just waited here. When they were hungry, they ate some dry food and waited.

Finally, it was early morning!

There were no lights on in Taizhou City anymore. Everyone was resting peacefully. Even the soldiers guarding the city gates kept their heads down and dozing off.

"Yoshi!" Seeing this scene, Taro Kojima was overjoyed. This was the opportunity he had been waiting for!

"Attack!" Then, he gave an order, and the Japanese soldiers sneaked forward like a tide.

Taking advantage of the cover of night and the fact that the soldiers on the city walls were sleepy, they did not think that the Japanese pirates would dare to launch a surprise attack, so they were completely unaware.

Soon, these Japanese pirates arrived not far from the city gate, and then they stopped moving and waited for the situation.

"What!" Suddenly, inside Taizhou City, there was a sound of fighting at the city gate. It sounded like the voice of Ming army soldiers because it was a man's voice.

"Ah, ah!" Then the next second, the screams of Ming army soldiers were heard, as if they were killed.

"Ha Ya Gu!" Then a sentence in Japanese language was heard.

"Creaky!" Then, the Taizhou city gate in front of Taro Kojima and his group was pushed open.

These people were spies arranged by the Japanese pirates long ago. They sneaked into Taizhou City in advance and waited to open the door for Taro Kojima and others.

"What! Enemy attack!" At this time, the government troops on the Taizhou city wall realized that they were encountering the enemy.

"Be on guard at the city gates, and everyone else, follow me to close them!" The general defending the city reacted quickly and immediately mobilized his troops.

"Shoot!" But Taro Kojima and his men had been preparing for a long time, and they were in the dark while the Ming army was in the light, so how could it be so easy to defend?

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!" Several arrows flew out into the air in an instant.

"Ahhh!" More than a dozen soldiers on the city wall were shot to death.

"Charge!" The Japanese pirates soldiers also rushed towards the city gate frantically.

"Oh no! The Japanese pirates are coming!" The general guarding the city became anxious when he saw it and spoke quickly to the soldiers.

"Hurry up and hold on! Close the city gates!"

The Ming army in the early days was still very courageous. They did not run away when they saw the Japanese pirates coming. If it were the Ming army in the late days, they would have abandoned the city and fled long ago.

But it was too late for them. They finally reached the city gate, but were stopped by the Japanese pirates who had previously dealt with the gate guards.

"Damn it, kill them! If the Japanese pirates come in, we will kill everyone!" the general shouted angrily.

"Charge!" The Ming army soldiers also knew the seriousness of the Japanese pirates' invasion of the city. Their families were still in the city, so they picked up their swords and spears and rushed forward.

"Ah, ah!" The Japanese pirates who entered the city early had no armor on them, so they naturally could not stop this group of Ming army soldiers who were as ferocious as wolves and tigers.

But they were too late after all.

"Charge!" A large number of Japanese pirates had entered the city gate and were killing them.

"Bang bang bang!" These Japanese pirates were carrying muskets, which they called iron cannons, which were also a type of firearm with great power.

"Ah, ah, ah!" Many Ming army soldiers were knocked to the ground by the muskets.

"Damn it!" The generals of the Ming army were also anxious, but they still performed their duties faithfully.
"Hurry up and notify the people in the city. I'll hold on here! There are so many guards of the officials in the city. Organize them and kill the Japanese pirates!" "Yes!" Then some soldiers went to notify the dignitaries in the city.

"Charge!" But obviously, it was too late for them to notify them at this time, as the Japanese pirates acted very quickly.

Except for the city gate that was attacked by Taro Kojima, the other three city gates were also opened by the Japanese pirates using the same method.

Then more than 10,000 Japanese pirates filed in and rushed into the city.

The Ming army defenders were quite brave, after all, they had just ended the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. But they were few in number, and the Japanese pirates launched a surprise attack, so they were completely unprepared.

We were suddenly put in a passive position and soon couldn't hold on.

Although the guards brought by those dignitaries numbered tens of thousands, they did not have a unified command. Moreover, the dignitaries who could come here were basically criminals and very selfish.

So how could they disregard their own safety and sacrifice their guards?

Moreover, these guards had no long weapons, firearms, or armor. In addition, the Japanese pirates attacked suddenly, so many people had no idea what was going on and were still asleep.

Therefore, there were many people in Taizhou City who could fight, but they were beaten back step by step by this group of well-trained Japanese pirates. They were scattered all over the place, and no one knew how many people were killed in one go.

And the death toll is still rising crazily!
"Yoshi, Yoshi!" Seeing this situation, Taro Kojima's face was full of excitement, and he shouted while holding up his long sword.

"Warriors, charge! Kill them all, leaving no one alive!"

"This way, all the gold, silver, treasures, food supplies, and women in the entire city will be ours. Charge!"

"Yoshi!" After hearing what Taro Kojima said, the Japanese pirates fought even harder. They were fearless and attacked the Ming people frantically. Taizhou City was suddenly engulfed in flames and turned into a sea of ​​fire.

"Good!" Seeing such a scene, Hu Lu, a Ming Dynasty man, had a look of joy on his face.

His idea was very simple. What did it matter if these Ming people died? They were not his relatives.

He only cared that these Japanese pirates would become more powerful after killing these Ming people.

By then, he would be able to tie down more Ming troops, and then when Hu Weiyong succeeded in his rebellion and ascended the throne to become emperor, he, Hu Lu, would be a great contributor.

By then, it won't be a problem at all to get a first-rank official or a general.

So when he saw the Japanese pirates killing people indiscriminately, he not only did not feel pity for the Ming people, but instead he expected the Japanese pirates to kill all the Ming people quickly and then rob them back to avoid any more trouble.

"Report!" But just as he was thinking this, a cavalryman came riding up to report to him with an anxious look on his face.

"Mr. Hu, news from above!"

"Hmm?" Hu Lu frowned when he heard this. The news above was about Hu Weiyong. What kind of news could Hu Weiyong have at this time?

He took the letter curiously and began to read it.

"Huh! What!" But he was stunned after reading it.

"Gee!" Then he spurred his horse and ran to Taro Kojima, looking at his anxious expression.

"Mr. Kojima, the situation is bad. Our attack on Taizhou City was a trap! We fell into a trap! This is the news from my uncle!"

"Let's retreat quickly. If we don't retreat now, it will be too late. There are probably tens of thousands of Ming troops surrounding us!"
